Baylor Scheierman stood in the corner with his hands raised awaiting a pass from Jaylen Brown as the final seconds of the first half of Sunday’s win against the 76ers ticked off the clock.
He stepped into the shot and drilled the buzzer-beater, giving a thumbs-up to the TD Garden crowd with his fractured thumb. He played 32 minutes on Monday, notching 12 points on 5-for-12 shooting.
Before the game, Scheierman explained how the thumb injury occurred, along with how he plans to manage it.
It happened during a collision with the Nets’ Egor Demin on Friday night.
